I love its print – abstract art and modern sculpture – which is actually the first reason I chose this product to review. But to my dismay, the bikini was quite big on me. Despite its gorgeous look, it wasn´t flattering my figure. At the time I was a size 0, and this bikini, which is a size UK8 (size 2), was the smallest available.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-26ZCL44QuyM/W3vc1EHw-AI/AAAAAAAAEj0/QgRIf9XlIBw5DG-ptrVy4qhWIb873yo5QCLcBGAs/s1600/ukswimwear.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="908" data-original-width="466" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-26ZCL44QuyM/W3vc1EHw-AI/AAAAAAAAEj0/QgRIf9XlIBw5DG-ptrVy4qhWIb873yo5QCLcBGAs/s1600/ukswimwear.jpg" /></a></div><br /><br />So the bikini slept in my drawer for months.<br /><br />But then the past three months I got very, very busy. And if I´m to be honest, I also got very, very lazy to exercise. Lo and behold I put on 3.5 kilos. When I tried the bikini again, it fitted perfectly! This august we experienced the peek of summer. Off to the swimming pools we went, but mostly to baby swimming pools so my toddler son could have a blast! Rocking the Gottext Rosetta made me a hot momma. Wearing it made me feel sexy, indeed. Haha!<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-z-P1gA7ObNo/W3venJFTpzI/AAAAAAAAEkA/uy11lDNMyDovIeRkDRqyLfMODPBP-dj4wCLcBGAs/s1600/ukswimwear1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="600" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-z-P1gA7ObNo/W3venJFTpzI/AAAAAAAAEkA/uy11lDNMyDovIeRkDRqyLfMODPBP-dj4wCLcBGAs/s1600/ukswimwear1.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-tWuyEiEcvrw/W3vewo08JoI/AAAAAAAAEkE/mcrTWxtmVE8-uPYoo5GAUzVOSa1V193HACLcBGAs/s1600/ukswimwear3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="750" data-original-width="600" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-tWuyEiEcvrw/W3vewo08JoI/AAAAAAAAEkE/mcrTWxtmVE8-uPYoo5GAUzVOSa1V193HACLcBGAs/s1600/ukswimwear3.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-hVPLdgonXEI/W3vfF7_xynI/AAAAAAAAEkM/cmTeI2BS-NMN44uUF6f3RAXwUWNyfSjCACLcBGAs/s1600/ukswimwear2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="693" data-original-width="600" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-hVPLdgonXEI/W3vfF7_xynI/AAAAAAAAEkM/cmTeI2BS-NMN44uUF6f3RAXwUWNyfSjCACLcBGAs/s1600/ukswimwear2.jpg" /></a></div>When it comes to choosing a swimwear, I look for pieces that shows off my wide hips and enhances my flat chest. I need cups that give me an illusion of a bigger chest. A halter style with foam lined cups usually allows me to achieve this. A hipster brief always shows off my hips and my rounded bottom.<br /><br />Because the bikini top has self tie straps, it can be adjusted according to my size. So even if I´ll gain more weight in the future, or if my size fluctuates, it will adjust accordingly. And since the bikini bottom is stretchy, it will go with my body changes as well.<br /><br />If you´re not sure how to pick your swimwear, read my <a href="http://creativefashionglee.com/12-helpful-tips-in-choosing-swimwear/">12 Tips to Help You Choose Your Perfect Swimwear</a>. Or if you just need inspiration, <a href="http://creativefashionglee.com/how-to-look-fabulous-in-swimsuit/">How to Look Fabulous in Swimsuit with Color and Details</a>.<br /><br />This Gottex Rosetta Halter Bikini is made in Morocco. It´s 72% Polyamid and 28% Elastane. Priced at £104.95, off from £144.95, this designer piece is a stunning investment. It´s currently available only in Uk size 10. Size 8 must be sold out. However, <a href="https://www.ukswimwear.com/">UKSwimwear</a> has the biggest designer swimwear collection. From swimsuits to bikinis and beachwear, including the many trendy pieces, they offer a wide array of options.<br /><br />If you need to update your go-to swimwear, go ahead and check out UKSwimwear. For example, you may love their stunning collection of animal print swimsuits. I`m a huge lover of animal print so I`m obsessed with their collection. In fact, the first swimsuit I chose to review was an animal print but it was only available in bigger sizes. If you´re into sporty look, they have a category for that as well. And of course, if you´re into the high-neck trend, especially if you have the runway-coveted broad shoulders, you will surely be amazed with their beautiful pieces.<br /><br /><b>Disclaimer:</b> <i>I get to keep the product after reviewing it.

One of the things I invest on for our condo are beautiful lamps. In fact, it took us long to buy the lamp that I wanted to have for our living room, we needed to save up for it. <br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-xZGkGYMUL4M/Wl_TLWkCHaI/AAAAAAAAEjM/nTTLbzkvegUWgiShEeh5SkbvVGRgnV7zQCLcBGAs/s1600/Decorative-Tulip-Pattern-2-Light-Stained-Glass-Tiffany-Lamp-LSH150950364-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="600" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-xZGkGYMUL4M/Wl_TLWkCHaI/AAAAAAAAEjM/nTTLbzkvegUWgiShEeh5SkbvVGRgnV7zQCLcBGAs/s1600/Decorative-Tulip-Pattern-2-Light-Stained-Glass-Tiffany-Lamp-LSH150950364-1.jpg" /></a></div><br />There are three things that I look for when I choose for lamps – aesthetic, functionality and practicality. A lamp must first and foremost look good. Then it must satisfy my need for lightning depending on which room I will put it or for which purpose I will need it.<br /><br />Then of course it has to be practical. Why would I splurge on an investment lamp if I won´t be able to use it as often because it`s not energy saving?<br /><br />That said, I have been looking online for lamps that will complete our master bedroom. The theme for our bedroom is vintage mixed with rustic, and with hints of modern. I`m mixing antique furnitures with modern ones. I`m decorating with classic Gustav Klimt paintings blending them with my self-made portrait sketches - of me and my husband - in modern frames. What´s currently missing in the room are a pair of gorgeous lamps. <br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-vfDmkt209Uo/Wl_TWTa_oiI/AAAAAAAAEjQ/Oxtt-z5U9VwcegQKkXMi8q6nhoSc0b9KgCLcBGAs/s1600/Rustic-Balloon-Shaped-Glass-Shade-Tiffany-Lamps-Value-LSH141148343-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="600" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-vfDmkt209Uo/Wl_TWTa_oiI/AAAAAAAAEjQ/Oxtt-z5U9VwcegQKkXMi8q6nhoSc0b9KgCLcBGAs/s1600/Rustic-Balloon-Shaped-Glass-Shade-Tiffany-Lamps-Value-LSH141148343-1.jpg" /></a></div><br />I found that <a href="https://www.lightsinhome.com/tiffany-lamps-c-6_15.html">Tiffany lamps</a> satisfy my desire for artistic décor lamps with rustic elements. There are many options available on the website but these three - Tulip Pattern 2-Light Stained Glass, Rustic Balloon Shaped Glass Shade, and Stained Glass Shade Antique - are what speak my décor style. <br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-dEvQgYx77eQ/Wl_TblP_4lI/AAAAAAAAEjU/q0ftyrLdQ14MwR871fOb1xjuFCphvbaKwCLcBGAs/s1600/Decorative-Stained-Glass-Shade-Antique-Tiffany-Lamps-For-Sale-LSH1702240926407-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="600" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-dEvQgYx77eQ/Wl_TblP_4lI/AAAAAAAAEjU/q0ftyrLdQ14MwR871fOb1xjuFCphvbaKwCLcBGAs/s1600/Decorative-Stained-Glass-Shade-Antique-Tiffany-Lamps-For-Sale-LSH1702240926407-1.jpg" /></a></div><br />These lamps will standout in my condo because the main motiff in my space is white. The walls and many other things are white. This is strategic. As you know, you can play well with art if your background is white.<br /><br />What do you think of these lamps?gleehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12431221538435203824noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2590290547727537184.post-1824610109537040552018-01-02T14:18:00.000-08:002018-01-17T15:26:25.759-08:00My Outfit - Back and Ready to Conquer in Baby Blue, Cozy Sweater<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-D4S75ztooPw/Wl_GC3iDu4I/AAAAAAAAEiw/SKVBGlGeBaMurF2FOzLYCCjcWazANcYTwCLcBGAs/s1600/my%2Boutfit%2Bfluffy%2Bsleeve%2Bsweater.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="600" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-D4S75ztooPw/Wl_GC3iDu4I/AAAAAAAAEiw/SKVBGlGeBaMurF2FOzLYCCjcWazANcYTwCLcBGAs/s1600/my%2Boutfit%2Bfluffy%2Bsleeve%2Bsweater.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><br />It´s been a long while since I published <a href="http://creativefashion-glee.blogspot.de/search/label/my%20outfit">My Outfit posts</a> on this blog. In fact, it´s been a long while since I did an outfit photo shoot. I had stopped doing photo shoots since I became pregnant with my son, but now that my baby is already a toddler and I´m starting to relax, I´m planning to go back to doing photo shoots.<br /><br />This outfit I´m wearing in the photo above was taken at our church one Sabbath afternoon. Here you can see me taking a quick rest from chasing my super active toddler before I went back to chasing some more.<br /><br />&nbsp;I`m wearing a baby blue sweater with fluffy sleeves – I´m really loving big fluffy sleeves this year – which I mixed with a leather maxi skirt in dark floral print. This look received lots of compliments from friends and I wasn´t surprised.

But being a part of the corporate world where everyone is expected to look professional, dependable and elegant every single day, wearing comfy clothes seems like a dream when heels and skirts are always front and center.<br /><br />Another struggle you probably encounter especially for those who goes to the gym before or after work is bringing all your gym stuff around; unless you have a car or a locker where you can keep them the entire day.<br /><br />But did you know that there are a couple of ways you can cheat around, especially now that sportswear for men and women are more on the stylish side. Below are a few examples on how you can rock your active wear on the office without getting caught.<br /><br /><h3>Wearing a Crop Top or a Tank Top:&nbsp;</h3><br />Ladies, I'm sure most of you have tried this before, wearing a tank top or a crop top into the office. But did you know that you can wear your favorite sportswear top into the office without being caught and still look stylish?<br /><br />Turn that comfy top into an office style by wearing your crop top underneath a good jacket or pairing a tank top with a nicely tailored coat. Add some accessories and voila you'll be the next fashion icon (maybe).<br /><br /><h3>Wearing Yoga Pants:&nbsp;</h3><br />Have you heard about yoga pants being worn in the office, no? We'll, now you do, maybe you'll be the first one in your workplace. Yoga pants if you didn't know yet are now available in different colors and aside from the normal tones of black and gray, there are <a href="http://www.theupsidesport.com/women/legwear">printed leggings</a> that can pass as a great option for slacks or skinny jeans. Pair it with elaborately woven knit, preferably something that is chunky and loose to contrast the tight yoga pants, an elegant pair of pumps or ankle boots and you are good to go.<br /><br /><h3>Wearing Hoodies:&nbsp;</h3><br />You're probably thinking of ways on how you can wear this inside a corporate environment during cold seasons, we'll it's actually very easy. First, you've gotta choose one without too much accessories or prints and plain toned ones like black, gray, red (a darker, on the way to maroon shade is my favorite), your choice of colour.<br /><br />Second, if you pair it with a skirt, you've gotta choose a nicely printed one or no print at all to make-up with the “low key look” of your top paired with a good heeled shoes, (ankle boots anyone). If you wear it with pants you can pair it with a nice black heeled shoes or pumps. Jackets, leggings or any other accessories are also a nice fashion statement.<br /><br /><h3>Wearing Sports Shoes:&nbsp;</h3><br />You would usually see men pairing their tennis shoes with slacks and I don't see any point why not? It's stylish, it gives a sporty business appeal and it makes them somewhat more approachable.<br /><br />As for women, this is an easy and stylish way to be looking chic during a casual Friday, not to mention the current trend where you pair your dresses and skirts with sports shoes. Take your time in finding the right clothes to pair your shoes, or better yet, choose a nice pair of sports shoes that can go every way with your casual/office wear.<br /><br /><h3>Wearing Sports Accessories:&nbsp;</h3><br />There are an array of sports accessories to choose from especially for women, but how can you wear it or use it in the office?<br /><br />A good example is a sports bag, there are plain prints and printed one's you can choose depending on your mood or the tasks you have for the whole day, the best choice is probably the plain toned one's as it can go a long way. Fitness bands can be worn with your bracelets or watch, or you can choose an accessory that is sports inspired to grant your inner sporty soul.<br /><br />With the given options, did you find one that suits you? Did I forget to add something? Feel free to comment, so I'll know what you think.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-O8JWL-OkXwg/VstVm4Ic3_I/AAAAAAAAEUE/n7jO4gS23L0/s1600/JaeRustia.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-O8JWL-OkXwg/VstVm4Ic3_I/AAAAAAAAEUE/n7jO4gS23L0/s200/JaeRustia.jpg" width="199" /></a></div><br /><b>About the Author:</b> <i>Jae Rustia is a fashion junkie by day and a reader by night.

Although I´m currently still in the middle of my 37th week, the baby´s head has already dropped really low in my pelvic that it´s so ready to say “hi” to the world.<br /><br />So I´ll never know if I can still take photos for my 38th - 40th week maternity outfits, my OB is quite certain my baby will come early than my due date. Thus I decided to write this post today profiling the “stylish” maternity outfits I wore for the third trimester (just in case I won´t be able to do it in the weeks to come and who knows how much energy I´ll have left to blog once baby´s here). Note that most of these outfit shoots were taken mostly on a Friday, around the end of my pregnancy weeks.<br /><br />See: <a href="http://creativefashion-glee.blogspot.com/2016/05/my-second-trimester-pregnancy-outfits.html">My Second Trimester Pregnancy Outfits</a><br /><br /><h3>36 weeks&nbsp;</h3><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-AOIeZhG-NDY/V5iAmaap0zI/AAAAAAAAEfQ/aT8o2JQ-aKs1YjeG3I8YwEuJtUDbenrLQCLcB/s1600/leopard%2Bprint%2Bmaxi%2Bdress%2Bmaternity%2Boutfit%2B36%2Bweeks.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-AOIeZhG-NDY/V5iAmaap0zI/AAAAAAAAEfQ/aT8o2JQ-aKs1YjeG3I8YwEuJtUDbenrLQCLcB/s1600/leopard%2Bprint%2Bmaxi%2Bdress%2Bmaternity%2Boutfit%2B36%2Bweeks.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-TMioZDpHnvY/V5iAqwd2MHI/AAAAAAAAEfU/dFqhNqsb4HoT5K3Y9FmnquunQ9czQQpAACLcB/s1600/leopard%2Bprint%2Bmaxi%2Bdress%2Bmaternity%2Boutfit%2B36%2Bweeks%2Bb.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-TMioZDpHnvY/V5iAqwd2MHI/AAAAAAAAEfU/dFqhNqsb4HoT5K3Y9FmnquunQ9czQQpAACLcB/s1600/leopard%2Bprint%2Bmaxi%2Bdress%2Bmaternity%2Boutfit%2B36%2Bweeks%2Bb.jpg" /></a></div><b>Leopard Print Ruffled Maxi Dress in Silk</b><br /><br />We had a really warm Friday last week and my goal in dressing up was to stay fresh. I opted for this silk ruffled maxi dress which is really comfy and also chic. Because it has a ruffled top, I went bra-less (I have difficulty breathing when wearing a bra). I partnered it with white jelly slippers with wide straps, but because I perspired furiously including my feet, I wished I went for flip flops.<br /><br /><h3>35 weeks&nbsp;</h3><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-KFgn36snA9w/V5iBN9_A4sI/AAAAAAAAEfY/Ol-Krc9h0l8RrxyWiEO-NTQC6cpIIjwRACLcB/s1600/stylish%2Bmaternity%2Boutfit%2B35%2Bweeks.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-KFgn36snA9w/V5iBN9_A4sI/AAAAAAAAEfY/Ol-Krc9h0l8RrxyWiEO-NTQC6cpIIjwRACLcB/s1600/stylish%2Bmaternity%2Boutfit%2B35%2Bweeks.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-syZoqSFoZzw/V5iBREIkFvI/AAAAAAAAEfg/LE4JLcGJeDQTZaOvTs_mpg0M36vI1owuQCLcB/s1600/stylish%2Bmaternity%2Boutfit%2B35%2Bweeks%2Bb.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-syZoqSFoZzw/V5iBREIkFvI/AAAAAAAAEfg/LE4JLcGJeDQTZaOvTs_mpg0M36vI1owuQCLcB/s1600/stylish%2Bmaternity%2Boutfit%2B35%2Bweeks%2Bb.jpg" /></a></div><b>Chiffon Midi Dress in Peach&nbsp;</b><br /><br />This peach midi dress from H&amp;M is sleeveless, but it was a little cold that Friday so I layered it with a nude knitted cardigan.

I love seeing those beautiful original porcelains that are so affordable. Unfortunately, my kitchen is full and my house is littered with porcelain jars of varied sizes so I mostly just feed my eyes. Too much of good things isn´t good.<br /><br />For one of my flea markt escapades with a friend, I wore this print on print layering – a blue paisley print bolero cardigan on a spaghetti strapped floral print mini dress. The cowboy hat is strategic more than a fashion statement, it´s meant to protect me from the sun. (Preggos aren´t supposed to walk under the sun.)<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-CVr2bQDQnIc/V5iGTzCcXHI/AAAAAAAAEgQ/zMBFo-3gPrw3uvxVBmPX6qA_27IZQhkuwCLcB/s1600/stylish%2Bmaternity%2Boutfit%2B32weeks%2Bd.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-CVr2bQDQnIc/V5iGTzCcXHI/AAAAAAAAEgQ/zMBFo-3gPrw3uvxVBmPX6qA_27IZQhkuwCLcB/s1600/stylish%2Bmaternity%2Boutfit%2B32weeks%2Bd.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-IrFum77CLSQ/V5iGXFXUUfI/AAAAAAAAEgU/0KWsHkgzs4I-brXQqkxbs9CApldSoymfQCLcB/s1600/stylish%2Bmaternity%2Boutfit%2B%2B32%2Bweeks%2Be.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-IrFum77CLSQ/V5iGXFXUUfI/AAAAAAAAEgU/0KWsHkgzs4I-brXQqkxbs9CApldSoymfQCLcB/s1600/stylish%2Bmaternity%2Boutfit%2B%2B32%2Bweeks%2Be.jpg" /></a></div><b>Diamond Print Empire Waist Blouse&nbsp;</b><br /><br />You know what they say? That you and your partner should make the most of the remaining days before your baby arrives? We do it. We go out quite often and we go to the movies every other week too.<br /><br />Because it was warm that week, we went for laidback summer outfits.

Right after my husband snapped these photos, the rain poured like crazy the rest of the day.<br /><br />Quite frankly, I love how I look in this outfit. I felt good wearing it. I do have a thing for shorts worn with high boots.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-GxcBMM_2Vcc/V5iIYFyZpCI/AAAAAAAAEhM/XIcY9xlSSaIcRuIWJj-9RTorpqA-j4dswCLcB/s1600/stylish%2Bmaternity%2Boutfit%2B%2B31%2Bweeks.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-GxcBMM_2Vcc/V5iIYFyZpCI/AAAAAAAAEhM/XIcY9xlSSaIcRuIWJj-9RTorpqA-j4dswCLcB/s1600/stylish%2Bmaternity%2Boutfit%2B%2B31%2Bweeks.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-nJPbVLBdCgI/V5iIqe2vlpI/AAAAAAAAEhY/DJyFv9WCsRs8RrF_5xOZpuKJKC4MdK6lQCLcB/s1600/stylish%2Bmaternity%2Boutfit%2B%2B31%2Bweeks%2Bb.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-nJPbVLBdCgI/V5iIqe2vlpI/AAAAAAAAEhY/DJyFv9WCsRs8RrF_5xOZpuKJKC4MdK6lQCLcB/s1600/stylish%2Bmaternity%2Boutfit%2B%2B31%2Bweeks%2Bb.jpg" /></a></div><br /><b>Lemon Print Dress</b><br /><br />The cold, gloomy weather continued, as you can see in the background, that my bright lemon print dress from Zara stood out in contrast. The dress is sleeveless so I layered it with a black, short-sleeved knitted bolero and I polished the look with yellow strappy wedges.<br /><br />At 31 weeks wearing high heels is not a good idea. But I was sitting mostly during the event so I was able to getaway with it. Also, I packed with me some flats and changed into them right after I had these photos. I know, I know! ;)<br /><br /><h3>30 weeks&nbsp;</h3><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-CIf1KHKw_74/V5iJDO9MUUI/AAAAAAAAEhc/GNMobwCStTsxfBcAMyFhd7Dig5Ioar4cgCLcB/s1600/stylish%2Bmaternity%2Boutfit%2B%2B30%2Bweeks.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-CIf1KHKw_74/V5iJDO9MUUI/AAAAAAAAEhc/GNMobwCStTsxfBcAMyFhd7Dig5Ioar4cgCLcB/s1600/stylish%2Bmaternity%2Boutfit%2B%2B30%2Bweeks.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-F4bE7PMUt3c/V5iJHhdOnWI/AAAAAAAAEhg/wjkHJTeqghokqh4d7LZeJiaZUKvM2QQmQCLcB/s1600/stylish%2Bmaternity%2Boutfit%2B%2B30%2Bweeks%2Bb.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-F4bE7PMUt3c/V5iJHhdOnWI/AAAAAAAAEhg/wjkHJTeqghokqh4d7LZeJiaZUKvM2QQmQCLcB/s1600/stylish%2Bmaternity%2Boutfit%2B%2B30%2Bweeks%2Bb.jpg" /></a></div><b>Peasant Top + Shirred Mini Skirt&nbsp;</b><br /><br />Mixing a peasant top with shirred printed skirt from Zara is cute and fresh for a warm summer afternoon. Oh, and I see those white jelly slippers again! You know what? These slippers were gifted to me three years back and I never wore them … until I got pregnant. I just realized I´ve been wearing these jellies often during this pregnancy.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-5mTX3Z9QSJ4/V5iJL3RoxpI/AAAAAAAAEho/A-_XHKVNGFQ87a-1XpO09q0NNjBRoN6RgCLcB/s1600/stylish%2Bmaternity%2Boutfit%2B%2B30%2Bweeks%2Bc.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-5mTX3Z9QSJ4/V5iJL3RoxpI/AAAAAAAAEho/A-_XHKVNGFQ87a-1XpO09q0NNjBRoN6RgCLcB/s1600/stylish%2Bmaternity%2Boutfit%2B%2B30%2Bweeks%2Bc.jpg" /></a></div><b>Black Layered Printed Mini Dress&nbsp;</b><br /><br />This H&amp;M little printed number is a twin to that floral print mini I wore at 33 weeks. I got these dresses at half price, end-season sale. I was really lucky I found one last piece of my size for each color. XS here usually fly off like hotcakes. This is an outfit I wore to yet another movie date with my love. Although it doesn´t show in the photo, my ankle strapped sandals are high heels.<br /><br />So that´s about my <b>“stylish” maternity outfits for the third trimester</b>. I mean, not that they´re really stylish but I just used this long tail keyword for SEO purposes. Lol. :)<br /><br />I may or may not be able to add two or more outfits to this list, that remains to be seen. I´m bracing myself for the big day. Yay!

When we arrived, ta-daaaa … my MIL´s friends were waiting for us with their gifts.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-36-CkFT2-Bw/V07FxR-GCyI/AAAAAAAAEeA/T0HieVcrOWgoBg5AOahs6-MYBt3BpvhrACLcB/s1600/surprise%2Bbaby%2Bshower2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-36-CkFT2-Bw/V07FxR-GCyI/AAAAAAAAEeA/T0HieVcrOWgoBg5AOahs6-MYBt3BpvhrACLcB/s1600/surprise%2Bbaby%2Bshower2.jpg" /></a></div><br />I was really touched by their thoughtfulness, I never expected a shower party for my baby. I`m not used to people remembering me and giving me gifts. I didn´t get a bachelorette party for my wedding, didn´t receive wedding gifts from my colleagues, friends and family, not even a “congratulation” from aunts and relatives, na-da. Not that it was a biggie (definitely NOT if you aren´t expecting anything in the first place), but receiving lots of monetary wedding gifts from my husband´s side – his German friends, German colleagues and former colleagues, and Filipina aunts – made me compare.<br /><br /><b>Note:</b> During the time when we got married I was living and working in Bangkok, Thailand, while my husband was already living in Germany where he grew up. We had the wedding in the Philippines. I only got to meet the people from my husband´s side who gave us gifts half a year after the wedding.<br /><br /><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-j4W44ulOdbk/V07ExKQYdKI/AAAAAAAAEds/mqXArE5_7tIb8kgbOkzk_5yhTSgLYYwIwCLcB/s1600/surprise%2Bbaby%2Bshower3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-j4W44ulOdbk/V07ExKQYdKI/AAAAAAAAEds/mqXArE5_7tIb8kgbOkzk_5yhTSgLYYwIwCLcB/s1600/surprise%2Bbaby%2Bshower3.jpg" /></a><br /><br />I´m a kind of person who, for most of my life, was used to giving but not to receiving.

Since our dating days and until/after getting married, he´s showered me with flowers + chocolates, gifts, love and care, and of course, lots of attention. And then there´s also my mother-in-law who´s generous in giving me gifts on my birthdays, wedding anniversaries, and randomly in-between.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-I4oz_woMhgM/V07GACGDK2I/AAAAAAAAEeI/C1Pw-6MZC18qMiBCE7sG4WPvm4vjlGYtwCLcB/s1600/surprise%2Bbaby%2Bshower6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-I4oz_woMhgM/V07GACGDK2I/AAAAAAAAEeI/C1Pw-6MZC18qMiBCE7sG4WPvm4vjlGYtwCLcB/s1600/surprise%2Bbaby%2Bshower6.jpg" /></a></div><br />But to have some friends, who aren´t even very close to me, organize a baby shower for my soon-to-be-here baby was a foreign experience for me.

Now I´m a big fan of animal print and I like adding a hint of wildness to my look every now and then, so it´s a no brainer to buy the skirt. In fact, this skirt is one size bigger my normal size.<br /><br />But as you know I´m currently preggy and now on my third trimester, one size bigger my normal size is the way to go. I also like the stretchy nature of the skirt´s belt band to accommodate my belly.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-dYMI2ghKN3E/V0wmj-yu_WI/AAAAAAAAEcs/l2fOHh_PzPAtk-e-fA4SYeWTcoL6-YpkQCLcB/s1600/how%2Bto%2Bwear%2Bleopard%2Bprint%2Bskirt2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-dYMI2ghKN3E/V0wmj-yu_WI/AAAAAAAAEcs/l2fOHh_PzPAtk-e-fA4SYeWTcoL6-YpkQCLcB/s1600/how%2Bto%2Bwear%2Bleopard%2Bprint%2Bskirt2.jpg" /></a></div><br />I wore the skirt to a one-day holiday escape hubby and I did in Frankfurt. We left our city early in the morning and came back late in the evening. It was a little cold and rainy in our city that day, and we expected a similar weather in Frankfurt. So for our outfits, we went for spring lightweight layering. Turned out it was warmer in Frankfurt that day.

It awes me how time flies and how the nine months journey of pregnancy doesn´t actually feel that long, at least that´s how it feels for me thus far.<br /><br />So I thought that before I bade farewell to the golden trimester of pregnancy I better go back to all the outfits I wore the past three months. All these outfits are clothes from my pre-pregnancy closet. I didn´t shop for pregnancy clothes, and even the few dresses I bought while pregnant are dresses that I will certainly wear post pregnancy.<br /><br /><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-PQO-cpiUKJE/VzRnwNlMyyI/AAAAAAAAEYU/mpuRCqtBCpc3BF89zfk1DUUdfzFkYLTygCKgB/s1600/pregnancy%2Boutfit%2Bweek%2B19%2Bstripe%2Bdress.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-PQO-cpiUKJE/VzRnwNlMyyI/AAAAAAAAEYU/mpuRCqtBCpc3BF89zfk1DUUdfzFkYLTygCKgB/s1600/pregnancy%2Boutfit%2Bweek%2B19%2Bstripe%2Bdress.jpg" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Week 19</td></tr></tbody></table><b>Week 19: Black and White Stripe Dress&nbsp;</b><br /><br />This b&amp;w stripe dress is a sleeveless summer dress which I layered with a purple cardigan for an indoor outfit.

The following tips will help you master the art of traveling light in style.<br /><br /><h3>&nbsp;CONSIDER MATERIAL&nbsp;</h3><br />As women, we are fortunate to have so many beautiful materials to play up our look from silk, lace and delicate cotton. All of these materials which transpire in elegant blouses or shorts, chic midi skirts and sleek trousers are all light weight pieces that won't take too much space in your luggage. <a href="http://www.traveller.com.au/roll-or-fold-how-to-pack-and-the-art-of-travelling-light-gix0yp" rel="nofollow">Fold such light pieces well and roll them at the end</a> so they don't crease and you will find that they take half the space of denim pieces or one bulky jacket.<br /><br /><h3>GO FOR THE ONESIES&nbsp;</h3><br />Channel chic vibes and make your life easier when packing by adding more one outfit pieces rather than a lot of separates. Go for <a href="https://www.babyboofashion.com.au/">dresses, jumpsuits and playsuits that suit your body</a>. These one piece outfits will take less space than two items.<br /><br /><h3>DECIDE ON A COLOR SCHEME&nbsp;</h3><br />Another way of having several outfit options on holiday without packing your whole wardrobe is by choosing style pieces that go together, so that you will be able to layer, mix and match and have a different outfit for everyday of your holiday.<br /><br /><h3>ACCESSORIES&nbsp;</h3><br />Accessories are just as important for a stylish girl going on holiday but packing your entire jewelry collection isn't practical (not to mention the fact that it is risky). Choose jewelry pieces that will go with most of your outfits, add a scarf and keep your sunglasses on you so that you will be covered throughout your holiday.<br /><br /><h3>TRAVELING SIZES&nbsp;</h3><br />Hairsprays and the hair dryer, lotions, make up and even perfumes if you have — travelling sized packages are your friends and you should take advantage of them. You are going to be on holiday so you won't need a whole bottle of shampoo or the whole of your make-up case. Stick to the essentials and reduce the bulk.<br /><br /><h3>CHOOSE YOUR BULK&nbsp;</h3><br />Speaking of bulk, when you start going for lightweight materials and traveling sized packages you will find that you have enough space to bring along a bulky piece with you. Whether that is a pair of heels or a wide brim hat, a classic coat or a pair of boots, it will definitely be easier to add a bulky piece once you have packed so many lightweight pieces.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-O8JWL-OkXwg/VstVm4Ic3_I/AAAAAAAAEUE/n7jO4gS23L0/s1600/JaeRustia.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-O8JWL-OkXwg/VstVm4Ic3_I/AAAAAAAAEUE/n7jO4gS23L0/s200/JaeRustia.jpg" width="199" /></a></div><br /><b>About the Author:</b> <i>Jae Rustia is a fashion junkie by day and a reader by night.

Yay!<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-L7rItOG5RKU/Vv0XPTgJFoI/AAAAAAAAEVc/HhamFrP-HkAbe6mlMATgWaopCjq-3Xh6g/s1600/military-chic%2Bjacket%2Boutfit.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-L7rItOG5RKU/Vv0XPTgJFoI/AAAAAAAAEVc/HhamFrP-HkAbe6mlMATgWaopCjq-3Xh6g/s1600/military-chic%2Bjacket%2Boutfit.jpg" /></a></div>However, just before winter officially ended, on our calendar at least, my husband affectionately asked me out for a Friday lunch date to celebrate the weekend. I even got to choose the place, and because preggy me loves yummy healthy foods, I picked the popular vegetarian restu in our city.<br /><br />My husband works really long hours during the week but he gets to go home early on Fridays, at two in the afternoon. That´s the reason why Friday afternoons are usually a date-time for us.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-HOCVoZoDOls/Vv0XYqyqcXI/AAAAAAAAEVg/_Cmey4ohqOUSeb-gsfEogFJJrDgJ4miQg/s1600/military%2Bchic%2Boutfit.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-HOCVoZoDOls/Vv0XYqyqcXI/AAAAAAAAEVg/_Cmey4ohqOUSeb-gsfEogFJJrDgJ4miQg/s1600/military%2Bchic%2Boutfit.jpg" /></a></div><br /><br />One of the things that I love to do is walking and I continue to do so while pregnant. For the Friday date meet-up, I walked from our place to the city which took me 45 minutes using the short-cut in the woods, while hubby drove straight from his work to the city. I feel good whenever I get to walk long.<br /><br />As for my outfit, I wore the army green jacket my husband got for me at Zara during our <a href="http://creativefashion-glee.blogspot.com/2016/03/my-outfit-patterned-tights-lace-up.html">Würtzburg escapade</a> early this month. I love this jacket because it´s roomy and comfortable for my growing baby bump. Finally, my favorite black parka could rest for now, it´s a little tight already around the belly area.<br /><br />I wore a gray hoodie and gray wool shorts under the jacket, very basic and comfy, teamed up with black tights, nude pashmina scarf, and brown suede knee-high boots. I carried a lemon yellow satchel too. While my outfit is more about comfort than style, putting a little thought on the color combination, which is pretty much military-chic with a hint of girly-ness, keeps the look still stylish albeit casual. Even my tortoise eyeglasses with yellow green accents on the side matched the color combo!<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-k0VS15pvYz0/Vv0X2aDNdII/AAAAAAAAEVo/VSL5Sd9uICcBdoXru7esG94qPzamVMYug/s1600/healthy%2Bvegetarian%2Bfood.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-k0VS15pvYz0/Vv0X2aDNdII/AAAAAAAAEVo/VSL5Sd9uICcBdoXru7esG94qPzamVMYug/s1600/healthy%2Bvegetarian%2Bfood.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-OiYfYyf5FIE/Vv0X93GqcaI/AAAAAAAAEVs/BD-ka5fQMjoYHpHuTWhvRuq0fO4GKlFJw/s1600/healthy%2Bvegetarian%2Bfood1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-OiYfYyf5FIE/Vv0X93GqcaI/AAAAAAAAEVs/BD-ka5fQMjoYHpHuTWhvRuq0fO4GKlFJw/s1600/healthy%2Bvegetarian%2Bfood1.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-8YZJ25wOwNM/Vv0YHg75nXI/AAAAAAAAEV0/2E4-DmC8GtM57A_0rt0OIfJ7QgheDEMNg/s1600/healthy%2Bvegatarian%2Bfood%2Bsalad.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-8YZJ25wOwNM/Vv0YHg75nXI/AAAAAAAAEV0/2E4-DmC8GtM57A_0rt0OIfJ7QgheDEMNg/s1600/healthy%2Bvegatarian%2Bfood%2Bsalad.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Kk_ZE50OT6Q/Vv0YMwDvBYI/AAAAAAAAEV4/S2XaJ2SnVCU5D4z3K3oGqwE7CMBFwOkJw/s1600/green%2Band%2Borange%2Bsmoothie.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Kk_ZE50OT6Q/Vv0YMwDvBYI/AAAAAAAAEV4/S2XaJ2SnVCU5D4z3K3oGqwE7CMBFwOkJw/s1600/green%2Band%2Borange%2Bsmoothie.jpg" /></a></div>The delish vegetarian meal we enjoyed + the green and orange smoothies actually made me wished that I could be more creative with the vegetables I prepare at home. But if I cook as great as at the restu, then it diminishes the excitement of eating out, right?<br /><br />Btw, the green smoothie was mine and it tasted much better than the orange. gleehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12431221538435203824noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2590290547727537184.post-80489192823973188082016-03-08T13:05:00.000-08:002016-03-23T13:44:11.384-07:00My Pregnancy Outfit: Yellow Print Body Con Lace Dress at Week 17Hello, girls! I kept mum about my pregnancy until my baby turned 17 weeks. My husband and I just wanted to make sure that our baby is safe before we share the good news to our friends. Aside from my private Facebook account, the only place I´ll be sharing my baby bump outfits will be here on my personal blog.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Qe3u0BU22Y4/VvL2r1kbY7I/AAAAAAAAEUw/GhGvGZjXAREX4C73wWNENClPT-XYRvaiA/s1600/pregnancy%2Boutfit%2Byellow%2Bprint%2Bbody%2Bcon%2Bdress.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Qe3u0BU22Y4/VvL2r1kbY7I/AAAAAAAAEUw/GhGvGZjXAREX4C73wWNENClPT-XYRvaiA/s1600/pregnancy%2Boutfit%2Byellow%2Bprint%2Bbody%2Bcon%2Bdress.jpg" /></a></div><br />I wore a yellow print body dress which is super stretchy. I got this dress eight years ago while still living in Bangkok and have shared an outfit look of it here on the blog sometime in 2009.<br /><br /><b>See the dress in 2009 here:</b> <a href="http://creativefashion-glee.blogspot.com/2009/10/its-not-only-what-you-wear-its-where.html">It's not only what you wear, it's where you go</a> <br /><br />I added a gray cardigan to cover my shoulders.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-7t23Yh6IrgA/VvL2wEEsaGI/AAAAAAAAEU0/f_ckM3u8KHQ1msF1gQQZ2Se4eKefPExNw/s1600/pregnancy%2Boutfit%2Byellow%2Bprint%2Bbody%2Bcon%2Bdress3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-7t23Yh6IrgA/VvL2wEEsaGI/AAAAAAAAEU0/f_ckM3u8KHQ1msF1gQQZ2Se4eKefPExNw/s1600/pregnancy%2Boutfit%2Byellow%2Bprint%2Bbody%2Bcon%2Bdress3.jpg" /></a></div><br />My husband adores seeing me in this dress pre-pregnancy but when he saw me rocking it with an evident baby bump, he initially disapproved the idea of sharing these photos to friends. He finds it too sexy for a maternity dress. But I love wearing stretchy fitting dresses for my growing baby bump because my goal is to wear the bump as an accessory. I don´t want to hide it, I want to embrace it.<br /><br />Eventually my husband gave me his blessings.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-nCFFTZvQLHc/VvL20pKeWWI/AAAAAAAAEU4/ANshV15VV3kpQLt3_xlj9GA3WRbLNpU6w/s1600/pregnancy%2Boutfit%2Byellow%2Bprint%2Bbody%2Bcon%2Bdress2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-nCFFTZvQLHc/VvL20pKeWWI/AAAAAAAAEU4/ANshV15VV3kpQLt3_xlj9GA3WRbLNpU6w/s1600/pregnancy%2Boutfit%2Byellow%2Bprint%2Bbody%2Bcon%2Bdress2.jpg" /></a></div><br /> <br /><br />Anyway, this photoshoot in my living was done rather too quickly. I hope people didn´t notice, but if they looked closely, the lining of the dress towards the left hem wasn´t properly set. It looks like the dress has a diagonal lining beneath the lace.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-HCAvqibnT-o/VvL24uUSc_I/AAAAAAAAEU8/e7-ffQfogbYvVaRFFcmAorSUyUxdC-bXQ/s1600/pregnancy%2Boutfit%2Byellow%2Bprint%2Bbody%2Bcon%2Bdress4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-HCAvqibnT-o/VvL24uUSc_I/AAAAAAAAEU8/e7-ffQfogbYvVaRFFcmAorSUyUxdC-bXQ/s1600/pregnancy%2Boutfit%2Byellow%2Bprint%2Bbody%2Bcon%2Bdress4.jpg" /></a></div><br />As you can see, my bump sets a little high, and it extends under my chests. Some say I´m having a girl, but although I too feel it´s a girl, there´s really no certainty until the day we´ll find out for sure the baby´s gender through ultrasound.<br /><br />I´ll be sharing my pregnancy outfits every now and then, so whatch out for it. I´m really glad that my baby is due in summer, which means mommy can play dress up with her spring and summer outfits. Expect maxi dresses; lose tops and shorts, and A-line dresses belted right just below the chest. gleehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12431221538435203824noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2590290547727537184.post-56792530664057501002016-03-03T12:11:00.000-08:002016-03-31T05:24:45.289-07:00My Outfit: Patterned Tights + Lace Up Ankle BootsLast November <a href="http://creativefashion-glee.blogspot.de/2016/02/an-early-winter-outfit-for-visit-in.html">we were in Würtzburg, Bayern</a>. We didn´t have enough time to get around the city that time, so we went back. No, I´m kidding ;). My mother-in-law had actually yet another appointment with the specialist and my husband had to drive her. But unlike last time when hubby and I spent more than half of the day boringly waiting for her, this time around we simply dropped her at the hospital and we went straight to the city for some joyful exploration.<br /><br /><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-uZk2lOTIKlM/VvLqQRifF8I/AAAAAAAAEUU/IE9RYOtHvsEmfNR5DvgC5KnRMbm2_gsZw/s1600/patterned%2Btights.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-uZk2lOTIKlM/VvLqQRifF8I/AAAAAAAAEUU/IE9RYOtHvsEmfNR5DvgC5KnRMbm2_gsZw/s1600/patterned%2Btights.jpg" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">This white dresser embodies my personal taste.</td></tr></tbody></table><br />First we went to Ikea. We explored everything that Ikea has to offer. And you know what? I became so fascinated with the children room designs. In particular, I was going <i>ohhh</i> and <i>ahhh</i> seeing some princess-y themes for a little girl´s room. There were pink and pastels in white background accented with some floral prints and even polka dots! It´s like I´m imagining my child already to be a girl, albeit we still don´t know its gender. <br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-KfZxGPUc8Gw/VvLqVHV0ZeI/AAAAAAAAEUY/ZYaNDzdTD-oE_DPtItWL-h7u23KaRQNeg/s1600/patterned%2Btights2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-KfZxGPUc8Gw/VvLqVHV0ZeI/AAAAAAAAEUY/ZYaNDzdTD-oE_DPtItWL-h7u23KaRQNeg/s1600/patterned%2Btights2.jpg" /></a></div><br />We ended up buying some items for our kitchen. And then we went to have some food at the third floor of the Ikea building. Surprisingly, their menus were delicious really cheap. We understood that they made their food <i>so</i> affordable so their customers would stay longer and shop better. Preggy me ended up eating all that I could. I was so stuffed but if I´d just let my appetite decide, I could eat even more. (Hint: for my third trip to the food counter, I went for an overflowing bowl of fresh fruits salads. They even had last three slices of water melon for me, something I´ve always been craving since the first trimester but have to wait until summer before I could buy some at grocery stores. How lucky!)<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-15Y-iY0FIjg/VvLqaiFvqDI/AAAAAAAAEUc/r6ZzImJB3mUr3F_CKnWpAWp20G88UzWjw/s1600/patterned%2Btights3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-15Y-iY0FIjg/VvLqaiFvqDI/AAAAAAAAEUc/r6ZzImJB3mUr3F_CKnWpAWp20G88UzWjw/s1600/patterned%2Btights3.jpg" /></a></div><br /><br />From Ikea we went to the city´s shopping street and did some shopping at Zara. My husband got a printed bomber jacket for himself and an army green jacket for me. As for me, I got two beautiful printed dresses in silhouettes that are comfortable for a growing belly.<br /><br />The outfit I wore for Würtzburg escapade is a layering of dark colors and prints. I wore a dark green sweater with a black ruffled skirt, layered with a pair of printed tights in colors that actually matched my lace-up ankle boots. My black parka hid my growing baby bump which is already at 16 weeks. All in all, although it was cold, I had a really great day. gleehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12431221538435203824noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2590290547727537184.post-9269006614275534902016-02-16T06:39:00.003-08:002016-02-16T06:41:55.062-08:00An Early Winter Outfit for a Visit in Würzburg, Bayern - Brown Leather Jacket + Leopard PantsLate in November 2015, my husband and I visited Würzburg, a city in Germany in the state of Bayern. It was early winter around that time, so as you can guess, I could still brave the cold with a leather jacket. In middle winter, however, I can only survive the outdoor with a parka or a thick fur coat.<br /><br /><div style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-iDaz-oSK8wE/VsMuRaOyvuI/AAAAAAAAESw/JhijIA_VjRY/s1600/my%2Boutfit%2Bbrown%2Bleather%2Bjacket%2B%252B%2Bleopard%2Bprint%2Bpants.jpg" /></div><br /><br />We went there to accompany my mother-in-law for her eye checkup where an eye surgery was scheduled. The eye surgeon experts are located in that city. Well, it turned out, she didn´t have to do the surgery. So after a half day of waiting, we went to explore the city.<br /><br /><div style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-NiP9d-VZh0M/VsMwWU5xuiI/AAAAAAAAETc/rJQqUZ9dNog/s1600/brown%2Bleather%2Bjacket%2B%252B%2Bleopard%2Bprint%2Bpants.jpg" /></div><br /><br />The problem in winter is the early sunset, around half past four the sun already disappears. That´s the reason why most of these photos are dark.<br /><br /><div style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-hJE5XT9NDFs/VsMxBQjQqNI/AAAAAAAAETo/3_ZY4D2GM4g/s1600/visit%2Bat%2BWurzburg%2BBayern.jpg" /></div><br /><br />I wasn´t able to see much of the city but enough for me to have the impression that it´s another gorgeous city. I love their totally huge capital building which looks like a palace. And I love their parks too. Eventually, we ended up in their shopping street where we did some shopping of high street brands.<br /><br /><div style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-pOz0bMD0SZw/VsMu9-O6e_I/AAAAAAAAETA/b1EyVdWDJ_U/s1600/early%2Bwinter%2Boutfit%2Bbrown%2Bleather%2Bjacket.jpg" /></div><br /><br />For that one-day-escapade, I wore a dark olive sweater underneath a brown leather jacket from Zara, paired with leopard pants (see <a href="http://creativefashion-glee.blogspot.com/2015/09/my-outfit-comfy-leopard-print-pants.html">how I wore the leopard pants in summer</a>), some sneakers, and a printed scarf from Mango. For my bag, it´s a satchel from 3.1 Phillip Lim.<br /><br /><div style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-XJN6VzKWO4g/VsMvMk84_FI/AAAAAAAAETI/x8iJgNZmUFc/s1600/leopard%2Bprint%2Bpants.jpg" /></div><br /><br /><div style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-nW8aG8SWwKc/VsMvT50q-bI/AAAAAAAAETQ/uhUD0-uR_Dk/s1600/my%2Boutfit.jpg" /></div><br /><br />I hope to be able to explore the city yet once again in summer.gleehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12431221538435203824noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2590290547727537184.post-49335399724384016152016-02-14T05:09:00.000-08:002016-02-16T05:31:26.681-08:00A Happy Valentine´s Date With My LoveIt was a cold, freezing Valentine´s Day for us and it happened to be on a Sunday. Here in our side of the world the entire city shuts down on Sunday, except the restaurants and bars. This is our fifth Valentine´s together as a married couple, and to mark the celebration, my husband initiated a lunch date at a Thai restaurant.<br /><br /><div style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-inx0_fF-ofg/VsMahbAdMsI/AAAAAAAAER8/4kYNubl6L08/s1600/fur%2Bcoat%2Boutfit.jpg" /></div><br /><br />You see, even if we´re both Filipinos who live in Germany, our love story happened in Bangkok, Thailand, where I lived and worked as a teacher for six years.<br /><br />As we enjoyed some of our favorite Thai delicacies, we reminisced over our cute, worthy-of-a-book-deal love story. It felt like it happened just yesterday, but if we´re to be real, the love affair started over seven years ago.<br /><br /><div style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-kAnyjg-dJ_k/VsMbGgT26UI/AAAAAAAAESA/Tv8LSwV_ltU/s1600/my%2Boutfit%2Bfur%2Bcoat%2Bfor%2Bwinter.jpg" /></div><br /><br />Now to our outfits … I went for a pink bell sleeved flared sweater top, white lace skirt, black tights, black tall boots, a red handbag, pulled together with a dark brown fur coat.<br /><br />I love how my sweater and the fur coat hid my already evident baby bump at 14 weeks. Styling my outfits now comes down to comfort on my belly and safety for my baby.<br /><br /><div style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Vu1Ot6nBF60/VsMa7DsrFpI/AAAAAAAAESA/YJPoERYgsao/s1600/smart%2Bmen%25C2%25B4s%2Boutfit.jpg" /></div><br /><br />My ever gorgeous husband went for a show-dropping casual smart look with faded blue Hilfiger slim jeans, blue striped button down matched with a blue printed necktie, and topped with a black vest, brown leather dress shoes, and a long coat.<br /><br /><div style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-RU5gxxfq90o/VsMdVLKqveI/AAAAAAAAESI/e48oxQRN4OE/s1600/valentine%25C2%25B4s%2Bdate%2Bwith%2Bmy%2Blove.jpg" /></div><br /><br /><div style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-LMG8nVvxeLU/VsMdcbb5aUI/AAAAAAAAESM/G_UAWpx1vsU/s1600/valentine%25C2%25B4s%2Bdate.jpg" /></div><br /><br /><div style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><img border="0" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-1gnu80IP5bs/VsMdiwY_KJI/AAAAAAAAESQ/4bTFR0-GoaE/s1600/tom%2Byum%2Bkhai.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" /></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span class="fbPhotosPhotoCaption" data-ft="{&quot;tn&quot;:&quot;K&quot;}" id="fbPhotoSnowliftCaption" tabindex="0"><span class="hasCaption">Tom Yum Gai</span></span></td></tr></tbody></table></div><br /><br /><div style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><img border="0" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-g1CwGthk1Mc/VsMdpYDuVfI/AAAAAAAAESU/fkTPAe7g6vM/s1600/phat%2Bthai.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" /></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span class="fbPhotosPhotoCaption" data-ft="{&quot;tn&quot;:&quot;K&quot;}" id="fbPhotoSnowliftCaption" tabindex="0"><span class="hasCaption">Phat Thai</span></span></td></tr></tbody></table></div><br /><br /><div style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><img border="0" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-n9QAE7DI5zA/VsMdvBKmO-I/AAAAAAAAESY/9FgOYsV1oFE/s1600/spicy%2Bcurry.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" /></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span class="fbPhotosPhotoCaption" data-ft="{&quot;tn&quot;:&quot;K&quot;}" id="fbPhotoSnowliftCaption" tabindex="0"><span class="hasCaption">Spicy curry.</span></span></td></tr></tbody></table></div><br /><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><img border="0" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-brIpLD3i1CQ/VsMd0ACu8BI/AAAAAAAAESc/xbZrsTir-BQ/s1600/thai%2Bdessert.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" /></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span class="fbPhotosPhotoCaption" data-ft="{&quot;tn&quot;:&quot;K&quot;}" id="fbPhotoSnowliftCaption" tabindex="0"><span class="hasCaption">Steamed sticky rice with banana wrapped in banana leaves.</span></span></td></tr></tbody></table><br />After a heavy meal, we attempted to walk around, inspired by the many love birds who strolled the city, but in less than 15 minutes we opted to go home as the temperature turned freezing.<br /><br />So that´s how I spent my Valentine´s Day 2016, how about you, darling? gleehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12431221538435203824noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2590290547727537184.post-10640596299780410482015-10-27T14:28:00.001-07:002015-10-29T03:28:26.143-07:00Ich bin Fasziniert mit Ein-Schulter Kleid Die Feiertage sind nah! Erntedankfest, Weihnachten und Neujahr wird bald hier sein. Der Gedanke auf die Feiertage und die Teilnahme an Partys macht mich schon sehr aufgeregt. Ich beschloss zu Beginn der Planung für meine Abendkleider früh.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-WXlY7DLeQl0/Vi_r8Qs5HTI/AAAAAAAAERg/7bd5CfKbjn0/s1600/Angelina%2BJolie%2Bone-shoulder%2Bdress.jpg" /></div><br /><br />Ich bin nicht sicher wann es begann aber ich immer mit ein-Schulter langen Kleidern fasziniert. Sie machen mich der Römer, die Griechen oder die Mazedonier denken.<br /><br />Ich erinnere mich an die Kleider, die Angelina Jolie trug für ihre Rolle als Mutter des Königs von Mazedonien. Sie war zu sehen, tragen mehrere herrliche Ein-Schulter Kleider, während porträtiert Mutter Olympias zum König Alexander.<br /><br />Ich verliebte mich mit dieser Schönheit, die Geschichte zeigt. Und ich mag bei einem Kleid wenn es nicht alles offen zeigt. Es spielt, aber es gibt nicht alles weg.<br /><br />Ich habe ein wenig Schaufensterbummel online und ich fand drei Abendkleider aus <a href="http://www.miaberlin.de/" rel="nofollow">Miaberlin.de</a> die ich sehe mich selbst tragen.<br /><br /><h3>1.

Lange, sauber und elegant. Die einzige Ärmel verfügt über Spitze, während das Oberteil ist von überlappenden Bandagen gemacht. Schlank Fesselriemen High Heels sind perfekt, um mit ihm zu gehen.<br /><br /><h3>2.

Aber die Rüschen auf dem Kleid und die drapieren auf der Schulter sind mächtig. Die Perlen sind nicht nur attraktiv; sondern sie die Wrap-around Stil des Kleides heben auch. Ich kann mir vorstellen, dass das Tragen es wird mich wie eine Königin fühlen.<br /><br /><h3>3.

I wasn´t directly invited, but you know, when your husband´s family is invited and you´re told … you´re invited too … that kind of scenario.<br /><br />I had no idea as to the dress code. But I was invited to a birthday party early this year and was told to wear my best, which, thankfully I didn´t but instead went for an elegant short dress, only to see that even the person who invited me (and who told me to wear my best dress) wasn´t wearing a dress! So I thought, maybe it would be the same story.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-YCfqnkscf5g/Vi-jALYIMKI/AAAAAAAAEQk/oVHt5kXl1fE/s1600/White%2B%252B%2Bcream%2Boutfit.jpg" /></div><br />That´s why for that Saturday night´s party, I went for a simple and clean white sequined top paired with white skinny jeans, a nude clutch and a pair of white-cream pointed-toe pumps. I rolled up the cuffs of my jeans a little to give way to the pumps.<br /><br />I added a black and white print slim scarf to warm my neck because it was a cold night.<br /><br />Although I didn´t wear jewelry (because I don´t wear jewelry), I wore a white pearl wrist watch accented with yellow gold.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-r-PKv44UQ70/Vi-jH5Cl1NI/AAAAAAAAEQs/AQw0-0vkmh0/s1600/White%2B%252B%2Bcream%2Boutfit2.jpg" /></div><br />We had to leave the coats at the entrance. Too bad because my coat was the main statement-maker. It´s an original fur coat in gray. Very high fashion.<br /><br />The party, as it turned out, was a costume party for a crowd of Filipino women. I haven´t seen as many Filipinos since I arrived in Germany four years ago. The birthday celebrant was a Filipina who turned 50. Her guests were mostly Filipinos. I saw a few aunts at the party whom I knew through my MIL.<br /><br />One of them asked me why I didn´t dress up. I simply shook my shoulder instead of blurting out, “I don´t think this party is worth dressing up.” Besides, although I was wearing pants, I looked elegant. But actually, that aunt is just used to seeing me dressing up, so she kind of expected me to also do a showdown. <br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-TTyHSUMqXSI/Vi-jOtbJQDI/AAAAAAAAEQ0/vUaHZWNVtWE/s1600/White%2B%252B%2Bcream%2Boutfit3.jpg" /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div>And a showdown they did.<br /><br />I took a backseat and as I sat at the table assigned to me and my husband, I observed all the dresses and the outfits that paraded in front of me. Unfortunately, none of the outfits I saw that night impressed me. Although there was a couple of looks I liked, they´re the less-is-more approach to style. One was a little black dress worn with black tights and high heels; the other was a black pencil skirt with peplum jacket.<br /><br />The rest of the looks? If it wasn´t too much, then the shoes didn´t match the dress. Or … it simply fell short from my taste.<br /><br />Although I quickly figured there were too many people for the buffet that was served, I enjoyed the pumpkin soup appetizer, it was delicious! Plus there was also a program which consisted of Filipinos presenting songs and dances. I haven´t seen one for a while.<br /><br />All in all, it was a good night. gleehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12431221538435203824noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2590290547727537184.post-44396861159901177952015-10-12T06:45:00.000-07:002015-10-12T06:54:41.868-07:00My Outfit: Biker Look with Black Leather Jacket, Denim Shorts, High-Top Sneakers + HatLast weekend we celebrated hubby´s birthday by dining out at a Chinese restaurant. But during the day, we biked around our city to see places. For our biking escapade, I wore a biker look.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-27d9AK96lWk/VhuxfrxECcI/AAAAAAAAEP8/-kMYLiYr1VY/s1600/biker%2Blook%2B1.jpg" /></div><br />The black moto jacket is from Zara. The plaid print scarf is from Mango. The navy blue sports cardigan layered under the jacket is a cardi for kids (boys) which I got from a local thrift store.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Xik9qHUXjrM/VhuxuTpsUcI/AAAAAAAAEQE/RyEa-nNtR9U/s1600/biker%2Blook%2B2.jpg" /></div><br />The high top sneakers are some branded shoes I got from one of my fave shoe stores here in our city. It´s one of my latest purchases together with the Mango scarf.<br /><br />I´m not sure if the plaid scarf is trending once again this season, but I did notice many plaid cashmere scarves in our malls. Of course, quickly I´ve seen many plaid copycat synthetic scarves being sold at Pakistani stores.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-LqNCQCRJ_uA/Vhux8zUTdFI/AAAAAAAAEQM/Vvj0YVCI1CQ/s1600/biker%2Blook%2B3.jpg" /></div><br />Anyway, I really loved the comfort of this biker look; it made biking easy but also chic-looking. The shoes are comfortable and light. As we biked around, I noticed many eyes on me.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-eAQpOxlY_ak/VhuyE1EkEPI/AAAAAAAAEQU/zAUK2xSg3G4/s1600/biker%2Blook%2B4.jpg" /></div><br />All in all, hubby´s birthday was low-key but fun. It´s the way we celebrate or birthdays—low key, quiet, personal, yet meaningful and fun.<br /><br /><h3>Shop the Look! </h3><div class="shopsense-widget" data-options="%7B%22columns%22%3A2%2C%22rows%22%3A1%2C%22showBrand%22%3Atrue%2C%22showRetailer%22%3Afalse%2C%22showInfo%22%3Afalse%2C%22showPrice%22%3Atrue%2C%22showSalePrice%22%3Afalse%2C%22size%22%3A220%2C%22pid%22%3A%22uid1316-3490146-97%22%2C%22productIds%22%3A%5B483897512%2C483902967%2C476701915%2C455270662%5D%2C%22type%22%3A%7B%22name%22%3A%22Type%20of%20Widget%22%2C%22list%22%3Anull%2C%22model%22%3A%22quicklist%22%7D%7D"><script> !function(doc,s,id){ var e, p; if(!doc.getElementById(id)) { e = doc.createElement(s); e.id = id; p = '//shopsensewidget.shopstyle.com/widget-script.js'; var cb = new Date().getTime(); p += '?cb=' + cb; e.src = p; doc.body.appendChild(e); } if(typeof window.ss_shopsense === 'object'){ if(doc.readyState === 'complete'){ window.ss_shopsense.init(); } } }(document, 'script', 'shopsensewidget-script'); </script> <iframe height="295px" seamless="" src="//shopsensewidget.shopstyle.com/#/?options=%7B%22columns%22%3A2%2C%22rows%22%3A1%2C%22showBrand%22%3Atrue%2C%22showRetailer%22%3Afalse%2C%22showInfo%22%3Afalse%2C%22showPrice%22%3Atrue%2C%22showSalePrice%22%3Afalse%2C%22size%22%3A220%2C%22pid%22%3A%22uid1316-3490146-97%22%2C%22productIds%22%3A%5B483897512%2C483902967%2C476701915%2C455270662%5D%2C%22type%22%3A%7B%22name%22%3A%22Type%20of%20Widget%22%2C%22list%22%3Anull%2C%22model%22%3A%22quicklist%22%7D%7D" style="border: 0;" width="530px"></iframe></div>gleehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12431221538435203824noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2590290547727537184.post-27714719379837770522015-09-25T10:56:00.000-07:002015-10-29T03:27:09.645-07:00My Outfit: Short Knitted Poncho + Fringed Cowboy BootsThere is something naturally sophisticated with ponchos, something I can´t clearly explain other than that … they transform a simple outfit into kind of glam.<br /><br />I love pulling out my ponchos from the back of my closet in early fall, and occasionally, in late spring. I wear them with skinny denim jeans or denim shorts with tall boots.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-TfXGn7HPsWA/VgV8M4XiEqI/AAAAAAAAEO4/N5SrJjm4anI/s1600/knitted%2Bponcho%2Boutfit.jpg" /></div><br />Last weekend was probably the last sunny weekend we could have after summer. It was chilly but not too cold. And it was bright.<br /><br />So I opted for a black pullover, light washed denim shorts, a tan knitted short poncho and a pair of matching, tan knee high boots that features a hint of fringe and a silhouette of cowboy.<br /><br />It does not clearly show in the pictures, but this is a fringe on fringe look. <b>Hint:</b> Fringe is back as a big trend for fall.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-LScTUwVyr-s/VgV8T4nrKFI/AAAAAAAAEPA/_3kEfJ9UYOU/s1600/my%2Boutfit%2Bknitted%2Bponcho.jpg" /></div><br />There are outfits that make me feel sexy … and this look is one of them.<br /><br />Every Friday afternoon hubby and I go out for a date. Sometimes he takes me to a late lunch in a restu, sometimes for a shopping treat, sometimes to show me some parts of our city that I haven´t seen yet, but mostly just to stroll around the heart of the city.<br /><br />Since I work from home, I´m in isolation the entire week. I can use some time going out and seeing people.&nbsp; <br /><br /><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-7JJgg1fUulc/VgWCFpDBu6I/AAAAAAAAEPQ/T8MTdF0xfKk/s1600/hubby%2Bin%2Bjoggers.jpg" /><br /><br />I liked what hubby was wearing that Friday—some casual joggers and shoes from Zara Man—a totally relaxed get-go. He´s always behind the camera, the guy responsible for my awesome photos, and thankfully, for a couple of shots he allowed me to take over the camera.<br /><br />In fact, we were just using my smartphone for these pics.<br /><br />I´m a little depleted now after a long week of research and writing articles for my pro blogs. And there´s still a magazine layout design for <a href="http://store.happysis.com/magazine/">my quarterly Christian magazine</a> which deadline is looming. I worked and worked, and yet I feel that I didn´t even accomplished half of the goals I aimed for this week.<br /><br />I always have to remind myself to <b>only do what I can do for today</b>. Somehow, it helps me not to feel upset when I fall short of my self-imposed short-term goals, which is most of the time. Yay!<br /><br />Weekend is here to be enjoyed. I wish you a fabulous weekend, darlings!<br /><br /><h3>Shop Gorgeous Poncho</h3><div class="shopsense-widget" data-options="%7B%22columns%22%3A2%2C%22rows%22%3A1%2C%22showBrand%22%3Atrue%2C%22showRetailer%22%3Afalse%2C%22showInfo%22%3Afalse%2C%22showPrice%22%3Atrue%2C%22showSalePrice%22%3Afalse%2C%22size%22%3A220%2C%22pid%22%3A%22uid1316-3490146-97%22%2C%22productIds%22%3A%5B492203723%2C487685942%2C487515181%2C490354826%2C487236525%2C488663029%2C486549885%2C485068593%2C485685457%2C486662867%2C490137674%2C488693347%2C488972445%2C483844280%2C488621295%2C486112555%2C486590346%2C486112556%2C488334363%2C488399210%2C487094000%2C486590395%2C487514666%5D%2C%22type%22%3A%7B%22name%22%3A%22Type%20of%20Widget%22%2C%22list%22%3Anull%2C%22model%22%3A%22quicklist%22%7D%7D"><script> !function(doc,s,id){ var e, p; if(!doc.getElementById(id)) { e = doc.createElement(s); e.id = id; p = '//shopsensewidget.shopstyle.com/widget-script.js'; var cb = new Date().getTime(); p += '?cb=' + cb; e.src = p; doc.body.appendChild(e); } if(typeof window.ss_shopsense === 'object'){ if(doc.readyState === 'complete'){ window.ss_shopsense.init(); } } }(document, 'script', 'shopsensewidget-script'); </script> <iframe height="295px" seamless="" src="//shopsensewidget.shopstyle.com/#/?options=%7B%22columns%22%3A2%2C%22rows%22%3A1%2C%22showBrand%22%3Atrue%2C%22showRetailer%22%3Afalse%2C%22showInfo%22%3Afalse%2C%22showPrice%22%3Atrue%2C%22showSalePrice%22%3Afalse%2C%22size%22%3A220%2C%22pid%22%3A%22uid1316-3490146-97%22%2C%22productIds%22%3A%5B492203723%2C487685942%2C487515181%2C490354826%2C487236525%2C488663029%2C486549885%2C485068593%2C485685457%2C486662867%2C490137674%2C488693347%2C488972445%2C483844280%2C488621295%2C486112555%2C486590346%2C486112556%2C488334363%2C488399210%2C487094000%2C486590395%2C487514666%5D%2C%22type%22%3A%7B%22name%22%3A%22Type%20of%20Widget%22%2C%22list%22%3Anull%2C%22model%22%3A%22quicklist%22%7D%7D" style="border: 0;" width="530px"></iframe></div>gleehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12431221538435203824noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2590290547727537184.post-88199738456188880342015-09-13T07:39:00.002-07:002015-09-13T08:33:24.209-07:00Product Review: Aire Tortoise Sundried SunglassesDo you have enough black sunglasses already? It´s probably now the time to hunt for some tortoise sunnies, your stylish alternative to black.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Y4T7ogeiBzw/VfV1G2GPPYI/AAAAAAAAENY/ADRg57sYKCQ/s1600/Aire%2BTortoise%2BSundried%2BSunglasses%2BReview.JPG" /></div><br />Tortoise sunglasses are neutrals. They can easily blend with any color or print combinations. Not to mention, they are more stylish. So when I was approached by <a href="http://www.sundried.com/">Sundried</a>, a brand born and based in Peru, to review their soon-to-launch sunglasses collection, I went for the tortoise. I`ve been hunting for this shape since I recently discovered it suits my oval face the most.<br /><br />How lucky I am for when the sunglasses arrived, they look perfect on me!<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-dB_vBR5H-rc/VfV2U5aBPTI/AAAAAAAAEOg/TT5iBHSZHRI/s1600/Aire%2BTortoise%2BSundried%2BSunglasses%2BReview2.JPG" /></div><br />I find these sunnies to be of superb quality. I believe in its potential to compete with the already-established high street brands. Right now though, since the glasses are still in production, the company is not ready to identity the prices of the sunglasses to be featured in their first collection.<br /><br />But with the look of it, I assume it to fall in the price range of $100 - $250.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-LJ1o9sxynfo/VfV3fVYOoNI/AAAAAAAAEOs/zBC6Uujh410/s1600/Aire%2BTortoise%2BSundried%2BSunglasses%2BReview3.JPG" /></div><br />It´s really comfortable to wear, light yet robust. Usually, when I have a new pair of sunnies, I have problems with the fit because I´ve a really tiny nose. But with the Aire Tortoise, it´s literally put on and wear.<br /><br />It gives my face an illusion of pointed nose, which is a plus to some Asian ladies who are not too gifted in this area as I am.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-xrDwXWd6rK8/VfV1aMcdK8I/AAAAAAAAENw/vxZieInlSvw/s1600/Aire%2BTortoise%2BSundried%2BSunglasses%2BReview5.JPG" /></div><br />Its glass frames are similar to the classic Ray Ban, only a little more oversized. One feature that I like the most about these glasses is its arms. They´re positioned a bit lower than the bridge which makes the glasses sit exactly to cover your eyes.<br /><br />Unlike other similar shaped glasses with arms levelled on the top bar, which often leads the glasses to slide lower than your eye-level, this Aire Tortoise sit exactly where it should.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/--8lwRnDMOPI/VfV1e3xd2TI/AAAAAAAAEN4/manu8ASAWq0/s1600/Aire%2BTortoise%2BSundried%2BSunglasses%2BReview4.JPG" /></div><br />So when it comes to the style, quality, elegance and overall look of these glasses, I will give it a five on all these criteria. Although I can´t do so for its price because it´s currently still unidentified, and on its packaging and case because they´re still a work in progress.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-rkxip3YkjVg/VfV1krZcECI/AAAAAAAAEOA/sWfIxnQPtfA/s1600/Aire%2BTortoise%2BSundried%2BSunglasses%2BReview6.JPG" /></div><br />Let´s learn a little more about the Sundried brand, shall we?<br /><br />It all started with its founder´s sun-drying experience, a lone surfer, after he rose from the water to reminisce about the mornings glorious 6 foot swell. With the sea water dripping and the sun drying him, the SUNDRIED brand was born.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-xhPIX3HgF8k/VfV18v384LI/AAAAAAAAEOY/WsE9baayt9Q/s1600/Aire%2BTortoise%2BSundried%2BSunglasses%2BReview7.JPG" /></div><br />Basically, Sundried is about providing apparel and accessories for those who share the team´s love for the outdoors. They produce t-shirts, shorts and various other items for both men and women, and now they´re expanding to fashionable sunglasses. You can find Sundried in its birthplace Peru, the UK, New Zealand and the USA.<br /><br />I´m excited to see where this brand is heading.<br /><br /><b>Disclosure:</b> <i>This review is not a paid advertisement, but I get to keep the sunglasses in exchange for my review. I do my best to provide an honest review and my opinion on the product and brand is not influenced by the compensation. </i>gleehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12431221538435203824noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2590290547727537184.post-10299882535209867872015-09-11T04:01:00.000-07:002015-09-11T04:01:09.076-07:00My Outfit: Brown Leather Jacket for FallFall is the season when I do most of my outfits pictorials. I love the colors of the trees&mdash;the red, and orange, and yellow, mixed with brown and gray of leaves and branches&mdash;is pure art to me.<br /><br />Right now, my surroundings is still green. The low and distant rays of the sun + the chilly wind, even if it´s still relatively sunny, are hinting that the beautiful vivid colors that I am always fascinated with will soon be here.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-EnLNuKFOQzE/VfKzrm6JuCI/AAAAAAAAENI/TCIo3jaPz7I/s1600/brown%2Bleather%2Bjacket%2Bfall%2Boutfit.jpg" /></div><br /><br /><br />This photo is from last fall, just in front of my house and just a week before I had my ceramic dental braces on. So this is one of those last photos of me with my original crook-y but happy smile.<br /><br />I got the brown leather jacket from Zara in Berlin. It´s soft, with elevated shoulders, and has a nice fit. It´s a little pricey compared to my synthetic leather jackets and that´s probably because it´s real leather.<br /><br />I realized that real leather is truly an investment, but they´re also sensitive to the rain. I don´t wear this jacket when it´s raining outside.<br /><br />Anyway, I like how dramatic this photo turned out. It was just a quick pose I did after hubby and I went to pick up groceries, taken through my smart phone. gleehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12431221538435203824noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2590290547727537184.post-19153898891045024042015-09-11T03:03:00.000-07:002015-10-29T03:29:43.239-07:007 Types of Wedding Dresses – A Shopping Guide for BridesIt´s almost five years now since my wedding but I still very much remember the joy of shopping for a wedding dress. A colleague and close friend of mine had her wedding on the same month as mine, only a week advance, so we shared that joy of hunting for our wedding dress. We giggled together; we shared our plans for our wedding, and our dream wedding dress!<br /><br />I think this is one of those pure gifts to a bride.<br /><br />Yet, after she consumes the icing of the cake, come the serious issues—how much is the budget, what season is the scheduled wedding, and what´s the location. To many brides, they are not able to wear their dream wedding dress because they prefer to go practical. I totally support that. I, too, ended up wearing <a href="http://creativefashionglee.com/my-short-wedding-dress-and-beautiful-short-wedding-dresses-under-150/">a practical wedding dress</a>.<br /><br />And yet to some, those girls who didn´t spend most of their single days dreaming for a wedding, they´re not sure what they want. Unless they hire a wedding planner, they have to deal with the confusions and worry. Thankfully, there are many free guides online on choosing a wedding dress.<br /><br />As someone who once went through this ordeal, I am now able to identify the seven common types of <a href="http://www.rosanovias.com.au/" rel="nofollow">wedding dresses</a>. <b>I found these gorgeous wedding dresses at Rosa Novias AU</b>, an online wedding boutique which sells anything wedding related, from wedding dresses to bridesmaid dresses and everything in between.<br /><br />See which wedding dress type resonates more to your style and taste, and don´t be afraid to follow your instinct.<br /><br /><h3>1. Classic Glamourous&nbsp;</h3><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-rNO8xhs85Bw/VfKi76WiHdI/AAAAAAAAEMM/Yx3KYmzp4C8/s1600/Classic%2BGlamourous%2BWedding%2BDress.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" /></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.rosanovias.com.au/simple-straps-ball-gown-beading-floorlength-satin-bows-watteau-train-bateau-buttons-wedding-dresses-p-1126.html" rel="nofollow">Simple Straps Ball Gown</a></td></tr></tbody></table><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><br />This is the wedding dress that classic glamor girls would wear. It´s simple, clean, elegant, and boosts a timeless silhouette. You´ll know you found the one if it transports you to the past and reminds you of <a href="http://creativefashion-glee.blogspot.com/2010/07/steal-barbies-pink-boots-via-old-gringo.html">retro style</a>.<br /><br /><h3>2.

Beads. Appliques + handmade flowers. And crystal detailing. This is one of my favorite wedding dress styles. It reminds me of my role, Titania, on a “A Midst Summer Night´s Dream” stage play we did in the university. I love anything whimsy!<br /><br /><h3>3.

To be exact, the last time I was on a bike was seven years ago, before I met my husband online. It was during one of our school´s out-of-the-city-camps in Thailand.<br /><br /><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-OFiS-W6iuCA/VfCsi4PpyoI/AAAAAAAAEL4/o2VBob5IwEo/s1600/my%2Bnew%2Bbike.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-OFiS-W6iuCA/VfCsi4PpyoI/AAAAAAAAEL4/o2VBob5IwEo/s1600/my%2Bnew%2Bbike.jpg" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Look at that big, wide grin. It says it all. ;)</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><br />Recently, my husband fixed his mountain bike which was unused for about four years. When it was ready, I tried riding it around the neighborhood and even if it´s too big and tall for my height, I had so much fun. It brought back my good old <i>love</i> for biking.<br /><br />Unbeknownst to me, hubby was secretly hunting for a woman`s bike. He wanted to get me a bike so we could do biking together. He says <a href="http://creativefashion-glee.blogspot.com/2015/08/my-favorite-exercise-haven-is-nature.html">it´s boring to bike alone</a>, he wanted a biking partner.<br /><br />Then yesterday a long, wide box was delivered at my door. And it´s a bike!<br /><br />Hubby came home early from work, assembled the bike, and I used it right away. He and his jogging partner jogged 8 km in the evening, and for the first time I went with them. Only I was biking.<br /><br />Our place is quite hilly and mountainous, so there are many parts where it´s a real workout to bike (much more to jog). When you´re biking up a really elevated slope-y hill, there´s no stopping until you get to the top. Oh, how exhausting! But stopping and giving up aren´t options, or I would have to push the bike to the top.<br /><br />I remember <a href="http://creativefashionglee.com/fashion-bikes-dolce-gabbana-leopard-print/">the fashion bikes</a> I blogged at the pro blog many years back, they´re city bikes and even if they look really gorgeous, they won´t work in where I live.<br /><br />But I do plan to buy my bike a basket and mimic the look of fashion cruiser bikes, and then use it for my upcoming pictorial for a product review. Yes, another product to review, and this time it´s sunglasses. So stay tuned. gleehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12431221538435203824noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2590290547727537184.post-69055256479702199822015-09-08T09:27:00.002-07:002015-09-10T11:09:50.386-07:00My Outfit: Black and White Striped Sweater DressIt´s officially fall over here; the weather has abruptly switched to chilly + gloomy.

Probably, that´s because I´ve adjusted already and I´m quite settled with my work, which is blogging. And of course, there is hubby who does everything to make me happy. I really have no reason to get depressed in winter, other than that the freezing temperature forces me to stay indoor most of the time. Think about it, it´s going to be my fifth winter already.<br /><br />When it´s chilly outdoor, out are the pieces for layering. This is actually the fun part of fall, the layering!<br /><br />So you can see me here, in the groupie above, wearing my new black and white stripe sweater dress from Mango. I call it “new” because it´s the first time it´s saying “hi” to the world, especially to my blog audience, but I actually got it last fall although I did not have the opportunity to wear it.<br /><br />I layered it with black tights, complete with black pointed toe pumps. I like how the black on black makes me look like wearing thigh-high boots. Yay! I also added a slim pink designer belt, which I got from the now defunct my-wardrobe online boutique, to add a hint of color.<br /><br />I like sweater dresses because they´re easy to wear and they offer many possibilities for layering.<br /><br />When the temperature drops further, I add a cozy black jacket and swap the pumps for black knee-high heeled boots. Sometimes I wrap a black wool scarf on my neck, sometimes a pink. gleehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12431221538435203824noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2590290547727537184.post-55106836184055198722015-09-03T02:37:00.000-07:002015-09-03T06:57:46.747-07:00My Outfit: Comfy Leopard Print PantsIf there´s one thing that would describe my style as a fashion blogger, that would be, “The fashion blogger whose expertise is animal print.”<br /><br />Google took me seriously because of my detailed articles on giving tips on <a href="http://creativefashionglee.com/how-to-wear-animal-print/">how to wear animal print</a>. My most popular post was first published here on my personal blog, which I moved to the big blog when I decided to go pro. <br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-L4DmgwZJie4/VebC65znqZI/AAAAAAAAELM/L7A_NR5yp8c/s1600/comfy%2Bleopard%2Bprint%2Bpants.jpg" /></div><br /><br />You see, I am very passionate when it comes to this exotic print, and it hurts me that the Kardashians seem to abuse this print and make it look cheap. Animal print + the Kardashians = negative chemical reaction.<br /><br />I mean, I´m no Kardashian fan, definitely, I never read any news or articles about them, that I winced when I accidentally heard one of them on TV claiming that they are very much animal print patronizers. Well? But yeah, this is a free world.<br /><br />Anyhoo, even if I adore animal print—leopard and snake print in particular—I don’t abuse it. The reason simply is, when you overdo it, you´ll look matronly, and certainly CHEAP.<br /><br />Take a look at this comfy + casual outfit I wore for a stroll around the neighborhood with my hubby. It´s a nice cotton trouser which is perfect for a warm summer day. It´s nice that it has side pockets and that it´s a slim fit towards the cuffs.<br /><br />I wore it with a white top featuring black floral necklace detailing. When I posed with this big trunk of tree, the result is dramatic.<br /><br />I definitely love it!<br /><br /><h3>Shop Gorgeous + Casual Leopard Print Pants </h3><div class="shopsense-widget" data-options="%7B%22columns%22%3A4%2C%22rows%22%3A1%2C%22showBrand%22%3Atrue%2C%22showRetailer%22%3Afalse%2C%22showInfo%22%3Afalse%2C%22showPrice%22%3Afalse%2C%22showSalePrice%22%3Afalse%2C%22size%22%3A200%2C%22pid%22%3A%22uid1316-3490146-97%22%2C%22productIds%22%3A%5B486584571%2C476851987%2C475612369%2C474720490%2C463764829%2C452443044%2C455007348%2C484355487%2C469417364%2C476068325%2C469326950%2C453771985%2C465999271%2C473956849%2C442662751%5D%2C%22type%22%3A%7B%22name%22%3A%22Type%20of%20Widget%22%2C%22list%22%3Anull%2C%22model%22%3A%22quicklist%22%7D%7D"><script> !function(doc,s,id){ var e, p; if(!doc.getElementById(id)) { e = doc.createElement(s); e.id = id; p = '//shopsensewidget.shopstyle.com/widget-script.js'; var cb = new Date().getTime(); p += '?cb=' + cb; e.src = p; doc.body.appendChild(e); } if(typeof window.ss_shopsense === 'object'){ if(doc.readyState === 'complete'){ window.ss_shopsense.init(); } } }(document, 'script', 'shopsensewidget-script'); </script> <iframe height="275px" seamless="" src="//shopsensewidget.shopstyle.com/#/?options=%7B%22columns%22%3A4%2C%22rows%22%3A1%2C%22showBrand%22%3Atrue%2C%22showRetailer%22%3Afalse%2C%22showInfo%22%3Afalse%2C%22showPrice%22%3Afalse%2C%22showSalePrice%22%3Afalse%2C%22size%22%3A200%2C%22pid%22%3A%22uid1316-3490146-97%22%2C%22productIds%22%3A%5B486584571%2C476851987%2C475612369%2C474720490%2C463764829%2C452443044%2C455007348%2C484355487%2C469417364%2C476068325%2C469326950%2C453771985%2C465999271%2C473956849%2C442662751%5D%2C%22type%22%3A%7B%22name%22%3A%22Type%20of%20Widget%22%2C%22list%22%3Anull%2C%22model%22%3A%22quicklist%22%7D%7D" style="border: 0;" width="920px"></iframe></div>gleehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12431221538435203824noreply@blogger.com0
